Carchost

Is every single tower, mound, river and land mass from The Lord of the Rings inherently noteworthy? If not, where do you draw the line and how? --GRider\^talk 23:08, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Don't abuse VFD to make a point. Create something like Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth as a child of Wikipedia:WikiProject Fictional Series if you wish to help remove the number of Middle-earth articles here in a productive way. Jordi·✆ 23:20, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Middle-Earth-cruft. --Carnildo 00:14, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge or keep every single tower, mound, river and land mass. Kappa 01:59, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, nn fancruft. ComCat 03:03, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Agree with Anárion and Korath about WP:POINT. Eric119 04:58, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • On second thought, merging would be okay as well. Eric119 05:20, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as minor concept. And people who nominate this should already know the answer from precedent, and be bold and just merge it rather than putting it on VfD. Radiant_* 09:36, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Ignore nomination as made made bad faith, otherwise keep or merge - SimonP 15:31, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, and expand. Megan1967 02:26, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Expand how? The article already contains the sum total of all knowlege on the subject. --Carnildo 07:07, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. The article appears to be a copyright violation from [1]. --Carnildo 07:07, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Comment on this & all the other Tolkien stuff: they're harmless. I could imagine people looking them up not knowing whether they are real. Even the ones that seem inevitable stubs could merit more, by way of etymology (since Tolkien played with that a lot). I have no problem with merging a lot of this into fewer articles, but the names should all at least be kept as redirects. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:10, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
